The state of Vermont has no state law against public nudity and leaves it up to the individual towns to either accept this or reject it. Only 8 Vermont cities and towns have created laws that make nudity in public illegal. Many times it has come up to a public vote in other communities and it thus far has always been voted down.
In many towns, like Brattleboro, which is just north of the Massachusetts border, it is quite common in the summer to see nudity. There are also quite a few protests, parades and festivals done that include partial or full nudity.
Would this bother you? Please share your thoughts and opinions.

i wouldn't be bothered by it. . . there is something really admirable about people being so comfortable with themselves that they can bare all and not think twice. would i be one of them? probably not! i like myself and am comfortable in a bikini. . . but i can't get over my "social training" of "them's mine" and not for everyone to see. i would be one of the fully clothed supporters!

I'm from Vermont and I have never seen anyone publicly naked. I heard about this recent problem in Brattleboro, but I live far from there (St. Johnsbury). I think Vermont doesn't have those laws because we trust people to be respectful and decent. Some people have recently discovered that there is no official law against public nudity and have exploited it. Vermont doesn't want to be a state that has such confining and restricting laws that people are upset and feel like they have no individual freedom.. But thanks to a few individuals, this is being taken away.

Many, lots of human beings in this u . s . a . are indignant by way of nudity; this is frequently seen sexual and irrelevant. Making all seashores outfits non-obligatory might enrage an overpowering majority of the inhabitants. whilst there is important help for having *some* outfits non-obligatory seashores, maximum human beings choose for to be responsive to that they have the alternative of going to a sea coast the place nudity isn't approved. i'm fortunate sufficient to stay in a community of California with a good number of outfits non-obligatory seashores besides to countless well-known, "fabric" seashores. regrettably, practically none of those seashores are so categorized or very extensively familiar as outfits non-obligatory, and while proper families stroll by way of and spot us sunbathing nude or taking part in bare frisbee they frequently get dissatisfied. the terrific answer is to have nicely marked, collectively understood aspects and seashores for the two proper and garments non-obligatory beachgoers.

I am a Christian and no, it would not bother me at all. I believe that God created the human body, thus it is beautiful. Not from a sexual point of view, but just the beauty of what God has created. Thus, while it doesn't need to be flaunted, I wouldn't feel offended if I were to live in a place where this occurs.

I'm all for allowing people to express themselves how ever they see fit. I personally love being nude and wish it wouldn't cause so much trouble in my area. Someday I will have a lot of land and will frolic in my birthday suit through the flowers and among the trees! FREEDOM! BTW, my birthday suit is the only thing that fits me perfectly. Seems a shame to hide this beautiful skin that I was born with.

it wouldnt bother me at all
i find the human body very beautiful .. in all shapes and sizes
i think perhaps that we have been clothed so long , that we are simply not used to it
perhaps if more people walked around naked , it would become the norm .. and there would be less rapes etc ?
just my thoughts :o)
